I am pleased to submit the 2022 Annual Report of the Auditor of Public Accounts in accordance with § 30-141 of the Code of Virginia. This report primarily covers audits we completed from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, and provides you with an overview of some of the more significant activities and audit results from that time frame. Through the audits we perform and the other activities in which our staff engage, we strive to provide unbiased, accurate information and sound recommendations to improve accountability and financial management of public funds. We utilize a values-based leadership approach, identifying four core values that we believe best represent our Office and staff. Throughout this report, we have reflected how our Office demonstrated those values during fiscal year 2022. All of our reports are available on our agency website at www.apa.virginia.gov.

I want to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication. Our staff are key to the Office achieving its mission and accomplishing its work plan. For the ninth consecutive year, the Richmond Times-Dispatch recognized the Office as one of Richmond’s Top Workplaces. Our accomplishments are due, in no small part, to the working environment and commitment to quality advocated by our management team and staff.
